Years ago (15?) I had a server that was acting funky. I would run Memtest on it over the weekend with no problems, but Novell and MS Mail were constantly corrupting files. It took a new hard drive and new memory to get it working correctly. Although I really blame the memory. I suspect Novell's memory mode wasn't…

@Chris Coyier: Duh! That's why I haven't deleted my account! :) There's a reason why I reported what I reported. I want it fixed! :-p I'm looking forward to a more gentler SMSing at least! I just posted my experiences, YMMV, HAND!

I tried it. It is definitely buggy. I get notifications that it's back up when I didn't get a notification that it went down, I get notifications that it went down when it certainly is still up. And then I don't get the notification that it's up, I get another email that it's down yet again.

My desktop went down (bad motherboard) and the only thing I had available was a crappy Dell laptop with enough memory to run 2000 Pro, but my old desktop that was now being used by my kids was still going strong and still running Server 2003 as a workstation. :) So I used my laptop to RDP to it where I had much more…

You know, Google should be tracking what email address the message came from, and when replying, use that email address. Then default to the Gmail address if there isn't a matching address. And if I tell it a different address, Gmail still sends it out under the Gmail address, which is pretty problematic when your…

My stupid idiot step-daughter is constantly doing this. Every little pain, every little ache.

Firefox and all the extensions I use.

@CarissaDeipyle: [la.gg] ain't working. domain-tools.com shows it as valid, but both my Comcast and Verizon(? 4.2.2.2) can't find it. And [isitmeorisitdown.com] can't find it either.

Cool. I just tried this on my updated Minefield portable and it worked.

Scrolling under any window, Katmouse.

Cool. I'll have to try this at home.

I already had the Portable Firefox 3.1 installed. It was trivial to install the nightly, and it was even more trivial to update it to a more current nightly. The trouble is, only 10 of my extensions work compared to the 18 that don't work. Get a few more working, and I'll use Minefield as my primary browser. For…

Every time I try Power Shell, I still end up using cmd for most things. Even though I'm sure once I do learn it, I'll be using it instead of cmd.

Printer? Not me. I don't use it as much as I used to, but it's still useful. Throwing an electronic document on my cell, a V3, isn't an option, and my PDA, a Palm III XE still isn't an option. (Yes, both probably need to be upgraded. I supposedly have a HPPaq coming my way to play with. Six months ago. And the…

Voted two weeks ago. Had to wait in line for about 30 minutes. The pen didn't dry out, and the ballot wasn't shredded upon entering the counter. That I'm aware of.

It's been hit and miss. At 1000+, it's been a little hard noticing, although Slashdot was one, and I sent them an email LAST weekend about it. Saturday night, I noticed that a bunch of sites were actually working again, and again yesterday, as if they were finally spidering the feeds again. The ones that I noticed…

Microsoft Ergonomic 4000. I really like my MS Ergonomic Internet keyboard probably the best, but it's no longer available (I did see somebody carting one on their backback on a plain last July...) Love the split keyboard. And it's fairly quiet (except for the space bar, but I can live with it.

How the hell did I miss this? Microsoft Trackball Explorer FTW! Too bad they don't make them any more.
